A regular American developer bought $1,400 worth and stacked seven Mac Minis on top of each other and connected them with metal cables.

Neighbors thought he was building a mining server. His wife thought he'd lost his mind. He just didn't want to pay $15,000 a month for a dev team.

On the screen - a diagram. Seven Mac Minis connected via Ethernet working as one machine. EXO framework distributes tasks between them automatically. 11.44 TFLOPS each. Together - more than most cloud servers that companies pay thousands for every month.

He paid $1,400 for the hardware once.

38 agents from GitHub, 156 skills. A system that learns from session to session and in two weeks writes code just like he does - but seven times faster because it runs on seven machines in parallel.

A task that took a junior dev 10-12 hours - the tower closes in 20 minutes.

One founder with this setup ships a product like a team of eight people.

For $20 a month instead of $120,000 a year.

This 7 Mac Mini setup helped him win the Anthropic hackathon and make $26,000 without a team.

Brexit is - ‘We’re updating our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy to reflect that from April 27, 2023, WhatsApp LLC will replace WhatsApp Ireland Limited as the service provider and controller for UK users. This change follows the UK’s departure from the European Union.’

Deadly fourth wave not quite so deadly? Time to declare the pandemic finished and last?
But who will have the courage.

DesDriver had something a bit more sophisticated to drink this evening at ours. @drinks_kitchen was a big hit.

Hey, #BorisJohnson 👋👋 I thought #Brexit was supposed to fund the NHS, not a manifesto busting tax?

@KevinAltus The grace period for enabling WFH was going to end sometime. I hope they don't lose sight of the fact that less of a focus on the normal strict processes has meant continuity of service for many customers.
